Surprised that so far I'm the only one who voted for Steen.
Yesterday yes yesterdaywish he was signed to an NHL contract so we could find out. since he's not, we can't consider him a b's prospect yet.
Yesterday yes yesterday
I was discussing Zech with someone who watched every home game and works for Providence what do they think
The answer
I'm confused with the mini Z situation...is he or is he not a prospect? I recall a number of folk having good things to say about him.
I'm surprised Steen and Frederic have a vote for #1.
4 of them would have to be disobeying the laws of mathNugs, I don't think its fair to have just one goalie on the list at any one time. Ask 10 people to rank Vladar, Keyser and Swayman and you might get 10 different answers.
There will come a time that a goalie may be ranked ahead of the skater, but not necessarily the goalie you'd rank first if all of them are not available to vote on.
I’m honestly surprised anyone has frederic in their top 5, never mind #1. Not even a knock on frederic, just think there are noticeably better prospects than him. Which is a good thing for the organization.
When they drafted Vaakanainen my immediate reaction was ‘that’s a weird way to pronounce Vesalainen’Somewhat surprised by the gap between Studnicka and Vaakanainen. Figured it'd be closer. No issue with Vaakanainen being voted #1 though.
I'm really high on Andersson... he's ceiling are through the roof.Here are 5 guys I think are regulars in the NHL and exceed the 246 criteria (3 full seasons)
Studnicka
Vaakanainen
Frederic
Beecher
Andersson
If he can stay healthy Lauzon is #6Here are 5 guys I think are regulars in the NHL and exceed the 246 criteria (3 full seasons)

I wish I had more time to watch some of these prospects like some on here do. Having played as a skater my whole life I don't have the best eye for goaltenders. What are some of Keyser's strengths and how far away do you think he is from pushing for a backup or even starter role?Vaak.
Suggesting Swayman. I have Keyser in my top 3 and Swayman in my top 10.
i don't think it's a stretch at all for frederic to be top 5. IMO, anywhere from 3-13 in this
ranking is gonna be all over the place. not much gap between a lot of these guys.

Gun to my head I think my top 5 would be:
Studnicka
Vaak
Beecher
Lauzon
Andersson
I value C/D highly, as do most people, which is why they dominate my rankings.
Love the answer, I didn't realize he was THAT good compared to his peers. You don't really here as much about him as you do DiPietro or Scott for example. Thanks for the input!Explosive, athletic, competitive, hard worker... In terms of style reminds me of a Quick or Bobrovsky in the way he’s able to move around the crease and splay both legs out to the side.
Best goalie in the OHL and arguably the best goalie in the CHL. Even if you know nothing about goalies, how many other prospects can say they’re the best player at their position in all of Canadian Jr hockey?
Won't know for a while,they're all good and they're all differentI think steen, lauzon, lauko and Beecher at bare minimum have far more upside than frederic does.
